I have multiple health issues  but mainly my disability is caused by M. E and chronic osteoarthritis in multiple joints. I miss not being able to walk far with my dogs  or ride horses  and I even struggle with my hobbies of sewing  and knitting . Where I live I am often quite isolated and can feel very alone and I wish I had someone to talk to

    Thanks, it helps to know there are people out there who know exactly what it's like. Even after 8 years my partner still doesn't get it ?

    Do feel free to share your questions or how you're feeling at any time @Vizlady- I have M.E too, as do lots of members of the community, and we'll advise where we can. You may be particularly interested in our invisible impairments and chronic pain discussions too!
